Elevated Railroad have been established
lin spite of the existence of:the lnonopo
lies and not as consequence of them.
And these rates are not as low as they
ought to be, as is shown by the nnrea-
sonably large profits which both the
Standard Oil Company and the Elevated
Railroads make. The public is entitled
to buy any article or obtain any service,
at the very lowest rate at which tho
former can be sold or the latter rem
dered and leave fair profit to the capi-
tai and labor employed to supply them.
This is \ right of which trusts" and al
similar artificial monopolies are organ
lied to deprive the public.
But, says the defender of trusts
again, it is not in accordance with soun
public policy that capital invested in any
legitimate business should fail to pay
fair profit to its owners, and there are
many branches Of industry that, but for
the organization of strusts,'' would have
to be carried on at lossor not at all.
Well, admit that every legitimate busi-
ness ought to be allowed 10 earn fair
profit. But if foolish people will iusist
on carrying Goals to New Castle, that is
no reason why the market price of Goals
should be increased. If whole branch
of business is generally improbable (ir
ordinary times, mean, and not in sea-
sons Of unnatural business depression),
it must be that all article is being pro-
duced that the public does not want or
in larger quantities than it desires to
buy. If matters are allowed to take >
their natural course, some of the weak
er establishments, those that are worse
managed, have insufficient capital, o.
are unfavorably situated, will drop out;
the money invested therein will be 9TH
erwise employed, production will be re-
duced, prices will end their normal
level, and fair profits will be realized.
The profits may not be as great as though
a "trnst' was organized, but the rights
of the public will have been protected.
Having shown, as l think, that a1tif-
cial monopolies which arc not justified.
by some present or prospective benefit
to the public onght no. to be tolerated,
it would be in order to suggest remedy.
l confess that l have not got as far az
that yet, and L fully appreciate the dill
culties that attend il. 1t is no easy task
to discriminate, among combinations
and say that this class shall be Lawful
and that unlawful, and have little con
fidence that Congress Or State Legisla-
lures would deal wisely with the subject
if they should undertake it; but am
sure that the proper protection Of the
rights of the public against the oppres-
sions of trusts and other combinations
will be one of the living problems Of tho
near future, and should be glad to De-
able to contribute even in a very SNAIL
degree to its solution

no prejudice against corporations, even
though they be large ones. have al
ways believed that any persons en-
gagged in . lawful undertaking are
entitled to the enjoyment of the full
fruits Of their superior skill, inventive
genius or business foresight, and to any
advantage that the possession of large
capital may give them. To a certain
limited extentI also believe in the right
ofindividuals, firms and corporations to
combine for mutual protection and the
accomplishment of desirable ends. All
such combinations cease to be justi-
fable only when they interfere with the
rights Of the public or prevent the free
course of those laws of which the gener-
al good Of the community requires shall
not be obstructed. :~
This brings me to the consideration of
the "trust, !" which is the latest and most
perfect form of monopoly that has been
devised, and to point out some of the |
features which to me seem to bring it
within the class Of business conbina-
tions that are opposed to public policy |
and which, therefore, ought to be forbid

General Pleasanton says that during his
career he has been in los different engage
ments and has never been wounded. At
Brandy Station certain Confederate
sharpshooter was ordered to pick him off
He got within 400 yards of the general,
took careful aim and shot "a member OF
the staff on the left. He fred again and
killed man on the right. Then he
crawled up nearer and waited till Pleasan-
ton was perfectly stationary. He fired
and again missed his target. The sharp
shooter then gave up in despair, d claring
that he had never before failed to hit after
three shots. A few days ago he seat his

The volume of trade to-day was heavy
in wholesale lines and very fair in re-
tail
Eggs stifened up to-day and were firm
at prices quoted.
There is some little wool in Texas yet,
which readily brings the prices quoted if
up to grade.
The American Banker says the credits
arising from the surrender of circulation
go into the general cash of the Treasury,
and are paid from time to time as the
notes are presented for redemption. At
the present time, and in all times
of business activity, the csncella-
ton of the ma ional bank notes
must be slow. The notes being of
convenient denominations are required
in business, and are only surrendered
when so mutilated as to be unservlce-
able. At present the surrender of these
notes averages, roughly speaking, S40,-
600 per day; while this apparent con-
traction of circulation is more than Offset
by the single item of The daily issue of
81 silver certificates. The department
does not believe that the tendency
will be to accumulate greenbacks in the
Treasury or to bring about any other
undesirable result, and it is thought
that the substitution of the new silver
certificates for the national bank notes
